Prosecutor: Resident woken by touch of intruder; 1 arrested

ST. JOSEPH TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Prosecutors believe a Benton  Harbor man arrested for home invasion Wednesday is a window peeper who  also touched a sleeping resident.

James Jonathon Dulaney, 36, is charged with first-degree home  invasion for the Aug. 23 incident in which a resident said they awoke in  bed to an intruder’s touch, according to Berrien County Prosecutor  Michael Sepic. The suspect then ran from the scene.

Dulaney is also charged with window peeping for an Aug. 26 incident, according to the prosecutor.

Dulaney faces several misdemeanor charges of illegal entry as well  for allegedly entering St. Joseph Township homes during the overnight  hours over the last several weeks. Three of those alleged home invasions  happened Wednesday in the Fairplain area of St. Joseph Township, near Napier Avenue.

A Michigan State Police trooper and his K-9 caught Dulaney crawling out of a window to a closed garage, the prosecutor said.
